So Steve and other Mattel reps have been refusing to answer or discuss Mega Powers lately which probably means its gonna be a big reveal soon. What is the best way you would like to see Mega Powers?
Two pack? Single elite releases? Ultimate edition releases? We have Summerslam 88 Elizabeth so it would make sense to have Summerslam 88 hogan and savage too. I think that is the iconic meta powers duo look.
There are also some behind the scenes look like the 1st handshake where they aren't in wrestling gear. The wcw version etc. Which looks or types of releases would you be interested in?

Refusing to answer? Action Figure Attack Do you think we will see a Mega Powers two pack in the future? And if we do will it be the WWF version or the WCW version? I personally want the Mega Powers in figure form. I’d rather see the 88 era first but that’s just my opinion as a fan and collector. We’ll see if this happens at some point. I think an Elite 2-pack would be the way to go.

Ok my bad. I missed that response. I just have a feeling there are times when a certain response means its coming soon just have to wait for reveals.
I think a mega powers release would be huge for the line. Its two of the guys most casual fans still identify as a pro wrestlers. Its a huge part of the 80s when business was on fire. I hope they do it right.

A Mega Powers release is definitely coming, the release of SS '88 Miss Elizabeth pretty much confirms it IMO. You won't get any info out of Steve or anyone else as they only announce things when they are able to. As for the type of release, I think an elite 2-pack is the best way to go but since this is Mattel we are talking about they will likely release each guy separate like they did with Ultimate Maniacs. For some reason, Mattel (Unlike Jakks) do not like releasing tag teams together- at least elite versions of them?! The only 2-pack releases we have seen were of The Bushwhackers & The Rockers in the original legends line, all other classic tag teams (Brain Busters, Demolition, Hart Foundation, Legion of Doom, The Nasty Boys, Natural Disasters) have been released separately. Never understood the logic behind this release method, its one thing if both guys aren't available to Mattel at the same time but for all of the tag teams I mentioned they had access to both wrestlers and could release them together in a 2-pack.

Would love a Mega Powers release. Elites are fine. If they could do it as the 2-pack elites like the Piper/Mr.T and the HHH/Chyna ones, that would be great. If not, individual releases would be awesome. To me the iconic attire is Summer Slam 1988, they were wearing matching attires at that event; yellow trunks with Mega Powers written on the back, red kneepads and yellow boots. Savage needs to come with the WWF Title, headband, glasses and that awesome robe he wore at the event. Hogan can come with his Hulk Rules shirt and bandana. I think if they were to release these, the Liz figure from that event would sell better.

That’s fine for me I was never a fan of the cowboy hat with the long tights look. I am a fan of the 3 stars trunks look. So I am surprised with all the long tights Macho man figures I purchased that on my shelves already.
